Wonder Woman has undoubtedly been one of the movie highlights of the year.
Not least because it means DC have finally turned out a good movie, after the unwaftable stinkers that were
Man of Steel,
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and
Suicide Squad.
Despite the critical panning those three film got, they still made a shedload of money - there is, after all, no accounting for taste. However, it was heartening to see that
Wonder Womanhighest grossing superhero movies has broken into the top 10 of all time.
Patty Jenkins' film has taken a staggering $368 million, making it the highest-grossing film directed by a woman, while also surpassing
Deadpool's $360 million, nudging it into 11th place in the superhero rankings.
Ryan Reynolds, star of
Deadpool, marked
Wonder Woman overtaking his movie with a classy (and only a little crass) post on Instagram.
Nicely done.
